Quantum: Einstein, Bohr and the Great Debate About the Nature of Reality - by Manjit Kumar

I started reading this book hoping to learn a bit more about quantum theory. It met that objective. The text is very clearly written and well paced and there is very little mathematics to frighten the reader. I found it easy and compelling to read and there were two bonuses. First, there is a lot about the people - the scientists involved in the development of quantum theory - which I found fascinating. Second, the context to the story is well defined, which educated me on 20th Century European history. I would never have thought that a book on such a topic could be such a relaxing read.
